Dan Seals And Jackie Evancho Team Up For “Love Is The Answer” Valentine’s Day Single

The Dan Seals Estate and Melody Place Records are proud to announce the newest single from forthcoming album Dan Seals & Friends: The Last Duet, “Love Is The Answer,” releasing February 13. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the song pairs the late Dan Seals vocals with platinum-selling recording artist Jackie Evancho. The rock-fused track shares a hopeful message of love powering through difficult times. Written by Todd Rundgren, the England Dan & John Ford Coley hit released in 1979 reached the top 10 on the charts, and continues to strike a chord with new generations of audiences across the globe today. Pre-save it HERE.

Name your price, a ticket to Paradise
I can’t stay here anymore and I’ve looked high and low
I’ve been from shore to shore to shore
If there’s a shortcut, I’d have found it
But there is no easy way around it

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free
Love is the answer

The Forbes magazine “30 Under 30” hitmaker, Evancho has made history, breaking multiple musical records in the U.S. and UK. She is the youngest solo artist to go platinum in North America, beating Michael Jackson’s record for her 2010 EP, O HolyNight. For the same album, she also became a Guinness World Record holder for being the youngest person to have a U.S. top three record at age 10 years old.

The Season Five America’s Got Talent runner-up continues to achieve extraordinary success following her praised 2010 stint on television. The globally adored, operatic vocalist has shared the stage with critically acclaimed artists including Andrea Bocelli, Barbara Streisand, Josh Groban, David Foster, and Tony Bennett. Her most recent single, “Worthy” explores the depths of her vocal capabilities, embracing her versatility as a female artist.

Evancho is part of an iconic lineup of superstars who will be featured on the late Dan Seals duets album, arriving August 28. The Texas Heritage Songwriters Hall of Famer will be joined by country legends, Broadway breakouts, and award-winning musicians including Alabama, Blake Shelton, Sara Evans, Jasmine Amy Rogers, Jamey Johnson, and Luke Bryan, for reimagined collaborations of his greatest hits. See the full tracklist below:

The Last Duet Tracklist:
1. “Big Wheels In The Moonlight” – Blake Shelton
2. “God Must Be A Cowboy” – Ned LeDoux
3. “Nights Are Forever Without You” – Sara Evans
4. “Bop” – Tanya Tucker
5. “You Still Move Me” – Marie Osmond
6. “Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold)” – Luke Bryan
7. “The Healing Kind” – Katharine McPhee
8. “Wood” – John Berry
9. “I’d Really Love To See You Tonight (50th Anniversary Edition)” – John Ford Coley
10. “Love Is The Answer” – Jackie Evancho
11. “Addicted” – The Castellows
12. “Love On Arrival” – Wendy Moten
13. “One Friend” – Lynda Carter
14. “Three Time Loser” – Jamey Johnson
15. “My Baby’s Got Good Timing” – Jasmine Amy Rogers
16. “Still Reelin’ (From Those Rock & Roll Days)” – Alabama

Singer, concert artist, actress, and model, Jackie Evancho is a platinum-selling recording artist who first became a worldwide sensation at the age of 10 years old, with her stunning debut performance singing “O Mio Babbino Caro” on Season Five of NBC’s America’s Got Talent (AGT). Since that debut, Billboard has twice included Jackie on its list of “music movers-and-shakers under the age of 21,” as well as Forbes Magazine naming Jackie to their list of “30 Under 30,” in part due to the history she has made along the way  – the youngest solo platinum artist, earning the record away from Michael Jackson – the youngest top five debut artist ever in the U.K – the highest ranking debut artist of 2010 – and a Guinness World Record as the youngest person to ever have a U.S. top three album. Jackie has made 10 chart-topping albums and DVDs, headlined three successful PBS television specials, co-starred in the film The Company You Keep at the request of the star of the film, Robert Redford, appeared in a Guess clothing campaign at the request of Guess owner Paul Marciano, and tirelessly toured the world singing for presidents and other world leaders, at world events, and to her fans everywhere. In addition to her solo success, Jackie has recorded and/or performed duets with such notable artists as Tony Bennett, Barbara Streisand, Placido Domingo, Josh Groban, Chris Botti, Joshua Bell, Il Volo, David Foster, Andrea Bocelli, and José Carreras to name a few. In 2020, Jackie appeared as The Kitty on FOX’s The Masked Singer where she immediately became a crowd favorite through her amazing vocals and playful persona. This re-introduced audiences to not only a master of classical vocals but also showed the world that she is masterful within any genre of music. During the pandemic Jackie explored a new direction within her craft and began writing songs. She first paid homage to one of the greatest songwriters of our time, Joni Mitchell, with the release of her album, Carousel Of Time. The album received high praise from the music industry. In 2024, she released her first ever pop album, Solla. On Solla, she wrote and produced her own songs with Smash Mouth’s Greg Camp. Her new music is a departure from the arias, showtunes, and standards that she’s been most known for, but Jackie is equally as impressive within the genre her voice has taken her. Time has proven that Jackie Evancho is one of the greatest vocal talents in the world today!

Dan Seals was never one to follow convention. Born and raised in Texas, he played a right-handed, 12-string guitar with his left hand and eight strings —”upside down and backwards,” as he liked to say. This unconventional approach carried through his entire career, as he seamlessly transitioned from pop stardom to country success. Seals first gained fame as “England Dan” in the pop-rock duo, England Dan & John Ford Coley. The pair’s 1976 hit “I’d Really Love to See You Tonight” cemented their place in pop history, followed by other classics, “Nights Are Forever Without You” and “Love Is The Answer.” When the duo disbanded, Seals faced financial struggles as he worked years to rebuild his career. Determined to find a new path, he embraced his country roots. In 1984, “God Must Be a Cowboy” gave him his first country top 10 hit, paving the way for an astonishing run of 11 No. 1 Billboard country hits. Hits including, “Bop,” “Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold),” and “Meet Me in Montana” with Marie Osmond showcased his ability to blend emotional depth with commercial appeal. His work earned him two CMA awards, multiple GRAMMY nominations and a loyal fanbase. Seals was known for his artistic integrity, only recording songs that stirred him emotionally. His producer, Kyle Lehning, recalled how he pursued excellence with “light-hearted seriousness” in the studio. When the radio hits slowed, Seals remained a beloved touring act, later performing with his brother Jim (from Seals & Crofts) as Seals & Seals, bringing their respective catalogs to audiences worldwide. Diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma in 2007, Seals faced his final days with the same grace he brought to his music. He passed away on March 25, 2009, at 8:30 p.m.—”Showtime,” as his manager put it. Seals was posthumously inducted into the Texas Heritage Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2025. His legacy remains one of versatility, authenticity, and an enduring impact on both pop and country music. A duets album, The Last Duet, featuring Seals’ vocals with a cavalcade of respected musicians will release Summer 2026.

LOCASH To Headline 15th Annual Island Time Music Festival In Mexico

This month, PLATINUM-selling Country duo LOCASH will headline the 15th annual Island Time Music Festival — a one-of-a-kind celebration taking place February 25 through 28 on the Mexican island of Isla Mujeres. This year’s festival will feature LOCASH & Friends, marking the duo’s 6th time playing Island Time, with special guest artists joining them on stage for surprise performances.

With a stacked lineup featuring artists from Country music and beyond, Island Time serves as a benefit for the Little Yellow School House (a donation-funded school for local children with special needs). Go here for info on purchasing tickets for Island Time 2026.“We love the amazing community of Isla Mujeres and being a part of the family of artists that support these kids. This is a very special ‘one-of-a-kind’ charitable festival that has become a part of us and our mission of sharing music and making the world a better place,” shares LOCASH.

Known for a high-energy live show built on their infectious brand of Country, LOCASH will top a jam-packed bill including two-time GRAMMY-nominated singer/songwriter Maggie Rose; Country hitmakers Trent Tomlinson, Emily West, and Lewis Brice; PLATINUM-selling Canadian artist Aaron Goodvin; and Alt-Rock powerhouse Jimmie’s Chicken Shack. In addition, this year’s Island Time lineup includes must-see acts The 615 Collective, Sarah Darling, Jon Stone and his quartet, Nekessa, Clayton Anderson, and Izzy Malik.

Featuring a night powered by Music Choice (one of the world’s most vibrant sources of modern music discovery), the 2026 festival will also mark the return of Country singer/actress Kellie Pickler. In her eighth appearance at Island Time, Pickler will greet island guests and host special events at the Little Yellow School House.

Located at the intersection of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, just eight miles off the coast of Cancún, Isla Mujeres provides a festival experience like no other in North America. Over the course of the four-day fiesta, Island Time attendees take in world-class performances at intimate venues, with unparalleled access to the artists. True to its singular spirit of community and connection, all proceeds from the festival (and its accompanying online auction) directly support essential educational services for the children of the Little Yellow School House.

One of many stops on their full-throttle touring schedule for 2026, LOCASH’s headline slot at Island Time is the latest in a series of career milestones for Preston Brust and Chris Lucas. To that end, recent highlights include landing their MULTI-WEEK No. 1 smash Hometown Home” in the Top 5 of Country Aircheck’s “Top 25 Songs of 2025,” where it nabbed the No. 4 spot. Further proving their chart-dominating power, LOCASH’s Country radio Top 40 smash “Wrong Hearts” claimed a spot on Country Aircheck’s “Top 100 of 2025.” Both songs appear on Bet The Farm — a 2025 LP that marked the duo’s first album release on their own independent Galaxy Label Group, solidifying their status as a trailblazing force in modern Country.

Sam Ness Releases New Single “Slotty Road” From Upcoming Album ‘Of Heart And Home’

Sam Ness has released his first single of the year, “Slotty Road”, the opening track from his upcoming album ‘Of Heart and Home’. The song captures the feeling of returning to his hometown after years on the road, seeing familiar places and faces through new eyes. With looping guitar rhythms, warm acoustic textures, and heartfelt lyrics, Ness reflects on how much has changed while recognizing that it still feels like home. He explains, “The record traces the last decade I’ve spent on the road, often living out of whatever vehicle I happened to call home at the time. It wanders through the highs and lows of loving people from a distance—friendships, romances, and all the in-betweens.”

From Friday night football games to secret fishing spots and fires burning along Slotty Road, the song fills itself with small, vivid moments that anchor him. Even though he’s no longer the wide-eyed kid with a guitar, Ness’s repeated refrain “I am home” shows that belonging isn’t about the past but about the connection that grows deeper with time. The 2025 Wisconsin Area Music Industry Folk Performer of the Year has performed over 1,300 shows, won 15 MAMA Awards, 2 WAMI Awards, and shared the stage with legends like Styx, America, Night Ranger, and Chris Barron of Spin Doctors. “Slotty Road” is a warm, honest indie-folk track that reminds listeners why Sam Ness is one of Wisconsin’s brightest and most authentic voices.

Ryan Dart Releases New Single “Dirt Road Woman” Celebrating Empowered Women And New Love

Colorado Americana songwriter, producer, and touring veteran Ryan Dart releases his new single “Dirt Road Woman” on February 20, offering a warm, roots-driven celebration of empowered women, hard-earned wisdom, and the electric pull of new love. The track serves as the first single from Dart’s new album ‘If Love Don’t Break You’, arriving May 1, 2026. Built on acoustic grit and Dart’s weathered, soulful vocal, “Dirt Road Woman” lives in the sweet spot between Colorado country and Southern-rooted Americana, capturing the intoxicating honeymoon phase of a relationship that follows heartbreak. Dart explains, “This song is about celebrating strong, empowered women and the people who love them. It’s that feeling when you’ve been through something toxic, you’ve learned the hard lessons, and then something real shows up. You gotta ride the bad horses before you know the good ones.” The track features Colorado musicians including Katie Mintle on vocals, Peyton Langford on bass, Nate Barnes on drums, Charlie Rose on mandolin and banjo, Bridget Law on fiddle, and Eric Moon on keys.

Born in Colorado and raised in rural Arkansas, Dart’s music bridges the landscapes that shaped him: the Rocky Mountains and the Ozarks. A longtime member of the Coupe Studios family, Dart has spent decades behind the scenes as a producer, engineer, tour manager, and artist manager for acclaimed acts including Elephant Revival, Dinosaur Jr, and J Mascis, while touring globally with artists such as Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Ryan Bingham, Wilco, Beck, and more. In 2024, Dart returned to Coupe Studios as Director of Music and Media Partnerships, while continuing to write, record, and perform shows annually. His forthcoming album ‘If Love Don’t Break You’ explores themes of love, loss, resilience, time, and healing shaped by divorce, the loss of his farm, falling in love again, and life as a single father.

February 6 – Magic Rat, Fort Collins

February 7 – House Concert, Boulder

May 2 – Roots Music Project, Boulder, Colorado

May 24 – Gold Hill Inn, Boulder

7 Music Genres You Didn’t Know Existed

7 Music Genres You Didn’t Know Existed

Think you’ve heard it all? Music keeps splintering into strange, wonderful corners when creativity meets curiosity. These genres are real, thriving, and proof that sound has no boundaries.

Pirate Metal blends heavy metal with sea shanties, folk melodies, and nautical storytelling. Lyrics revolve around rum, mutiny, and life on the open sea. It’s theatrical, loud, and built for rowdy singalongs. Key names in the genre include Alestorm, Running Wild, and Swashbuckle.

Dungeon Synth emerged from the black metal underground but took a sharp turn toward atmosphere. It swaps guitars for lo-fi keyboards and medieval moods. The music feels like a soundtrack for forgotten castles and fantasy worlds. Foundational artists include Mortiis, Depressive Silence, and Secret Stairways.

Vaporwave is part genre, part internet art experiment. It slows down elevator music, smooth jazz, and ’80s pop until they feel dreamlike and distorted. The sound plays heavily with nostalgia and irony. Artists closely tied to the genre include Macintosh Plus, Saint Pepsi, and Chuck Person.

Skweee mixes chiptune sounds with funk and R&B rhythms. It’s minimalist, playful, and focused on groove over polish. The music feels light but intentional. Notable names include Daniel Savio, Freller, and Slagsmålsklubben.

Lowercase pushes music to the edge of silence. It focuses on extremely quiet sounds like room noise, static, or subtle environmental hums. Listening requires patience and close attention. Artists associated with the style include Steve Roden, Bernhard Günter, and Toshimaru Nakamura.

Witch House combines slowed-down hip-hop beats, dark synths, and occult imagery. Vocals are often heavily distorted or buried in the mix. The mood is shadowy, hypnotic, and unsettling. Key artists include Salem, oOoOO, and Crystal Castles.

Japanoise is chaos as art. Originating in Japan, it embraces extreme volume, distortion, and the rejection of traditional song structure. The goal isn’t comfort, but raw expression. Influential figures include Merzbow, Hijokaidan, and Boredoms.
